crepe, with velvet in yellow, black, pink
and white stripes on the sleeves, run
ming from the shoulder to the elbow.
The cOlorS were placed so as to harmon
iZe perfectly. Another fancy is to wear
large bow of gauZe fastened to the left
shoulder. Material about a yard wide
is used, and a yard and half is the
length required for the bow. The effect
is somewhat similar to that of great
butterfly alighting on ones shoulder.
Ball bodices of net entirely covered
with cut beads of jet or glass are in
fashion. The bodice is made decOllete,
cut round both back and front, and
sleeves about two inches wide passing
over the shoulder. Then it is entirely
covered with the beads. One recently
imported. and which found customer
at once, has foundation of channels,
dyed dark green and lined with white
silk. This is cover, d with dark green
net and then with beads of a glistening
sea weed tint of green. Large buckles
of the same beads clasp the shoulder
straps, and one is placed on the left hip.
This is to be worn with tulle skirts of
green over watered silk, and the entire
costume has decided mermaid effect,
very pleasing for warm weather.
Our cu5 Sl)N; tl3 llt3it English
cling costumes, which has just been i'm
ported. TIE bellies returning from
abroad are all wearing similar jackets
and hats. The effect of placing the
bows in the sailor hat at the back is at
once jaunty and novel. Two shades of
ribbon are used for the bow, unless the
hat is entirely white. The covert jacket
is made of pure white cloth if one
wishes to be ultra fashionable, but
scarlet, dark-blue, fawn and gray are
all worn.
Little silken bags two inches square
filled with violet leaves and little
lining of some of the new dresses. The
fashion was set by the Countess of
ElleSmere, who ordered of Worth a
violet velvet and tulle gown embrOid-
cred in viOletS, with full train, and to
carry still further the effect of the
flower 200 of these little bags were sewn
in the lining of the train and skirt and
in the pulled sleeves of the bodice. A
rose gown in imitation of this is being
made for the Newport season. 1t is a
Mermet pink in shade of MORE, en-
broidered in white and pink buds, and
the edge of the train is cut
in green, The front of Brussels net
falls over a plaStron of Mermet roses
and buds. The waist of pink velvet
and net, is lined throughout with silk,
between which and the velvet are sewn
rose leaves and rose musk, held in place
by a quilting invisible on the outside
AS the wearer of this gown passes by a
perfume of June roses fills the air. The
fashion is a pretty one, but too ex-
pensive for even many women of fash
ion. The rose dress cost 81 900.
A pretty pair of summer stockings for
ball room wear are displayed in an up
town window shop. They are delicate
green in color, and little cluster of
white moss rosebuds is embroidered on
each instep. Another pair almost as
dainty are of lavender silk in open
work, with band of little pink sea
shells embroidered about the ankle and
forming clocks at the sides.
Green gloves with black stitching,
lavender gloves with yellow stitching,
and brown gloves with dark-green
stitching are among the newest COM
binations. They are extremely fash
ionable in Paris for afternoon driving
on the Bots, and are taking very well
here.
